Madonna, Beyoncé, New Order. Nike, Mercedes, Dom Perignon. As a music video and commerical director, Swedish auteur Johan Renck has worked with the biggest names in the world. So it's not surprising that he gathered up an all-star cast of players for Downloading Nancy, his feature directorial debut. Aided by the talents of Maria Bello, Jason Patric, Rufus Sewell and Amy Brenneman, Renck is bringing the story of a lonely wife whose life changes when she meets a new man on the Internet to the big screen. His first stop? The 2008 Sundance Film Festival, where the film made its premiere last January.
